Bond Says Two-Fold Crisis
Faced By Black Institutions
JULIAN BOND, GEORGIA LEGISLATOR
By Ronald Topping
News Editor
"A&T holds a unique place in
the history of Black people;
without A&T there wouldn't be
a Julian Bond" stated Julian
Bond in an exclusive interview
with the A&T Register. The
Georgia state legislator spoke on
campus December 18th at the
"Save the Black Schools"
Banquet sponsored by the
Student Organization for Black
Unity.
Representative Bond feels
Black schools are faced with a
two-fold crisis, financial and
internal. The internal crisis was
described by him as "taking in
and not turning out." A good
example of this, he explained,
"would be studying to be a
doctor". "Black schools should
give the student the necessary
background to be a doctor and
also instill in him a dedication to
serve Black people.'

high paying jobs in the
Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy Objects To Scott's Proposal
By George Johnson
Presidents of North Carolina's
state supported universities met
at the executive mansion in
.Raleigh Sunday night for the
purpose of drafting a statement
to present to Governor Robert
Scott concerning his proposal for
putting the 15 universities under
a single board of trustees^
Dr. Dowdy stated that he is
still considering the proposals,
but at the present time he favors
the existing system.
The presidents met with Dr.
SS Sets 100 Ceiling For
First Priority Group
Selective Service officials
announced today that registrants
in the 1971 First Priority
Selection Group with Random
Sequence Numbers 100 and
below would be eligible for
induction in January of 1971
and that RSN is expected to
remain the ceiling for several
months. The Department of
Defense has set the January draft
call atl 7,000.
"The First Priority Selection
iGroup of 1971 is made up of
those men who reached the age
of 19 during 1970, received
lottery (RSN) numbers at the
July 1970 drawing, and have not
received deferments or
exemptions from service. This
group becomes eligible for
induction beginning in January
of 1971, but after the induction
of those men in the Extended
Priority Selection Group of
1970.
Selective Service officials
pointect-out that the RSN 100
ceiling applies only to the 1971
group and does not affect the
liability of those young men in
the 1970 prime group whose
numbers have been "reached",
but have not been called. These
young men, members of the
Extended Priority Selection
Group, are elibible for induction
for the first three months of
1971. Under Selective Service
policy, these men must be
ordered for induction ahead of
those in the 1971 pool.
The extended Group is made
of young men between 1944 and
1950 who have not reached their
26 birthday, were classified I-A
or I-A-O at the end of 1970, and
had a RSN that has been
"reached"-that is, a RSN lower
than the highest number called
by their local board during 1970.
The highest number
"reached" in 1970 was RSN 195.
While no local board exceeded
Ihis RSN in issuing induction
orders to young men during
1970, many local boards did not
"reach" that limit in meeting
their calls.
Selective Service officials said
they set the RSN ceiling for
January at RSN 100 in order to
avoid the problems encountered
in 1970 of local boards being
unable to deliver sufficient
numbers of inductees during the
early months of the year because
not all young men with low
sequence numbers had been fully
examined and were available for
induction, or had fully
completed the delays inherent in
exercising their legal appeal
rights. In 1970, Selective Service
set a RSN ceiling of 30 for
January, moved this up to 60 for
February, 90 for March, and 115
for April. The RSN ceiling
reached 195 in August and
remained there for the remainder
of 1970.
Cameron West, director of the
Board of Higher education
Monday at 2 p.m. Governor
Scott was not present but he sent
a statement urging tha*executive
heads at the universities to work
directly with their individual
board of trustees.
According to Dr. L. C.
Dowdy, president of A&T,
Scott's proposal concerning the
restructuring of higher education
centered around the following
proposals; (1) to set up a
coordination and control of the
fifteen universities^ (2) the
establishment of two boards at
the state level for planning,
coordination and control of
higher education.
The first board would have
complete control, coordination
and planning for the six
campuses under the greater
universities of North Carolina
system. The other would be
responsible for planning,
coordinating and controlling the
programs and budgets of the
regional universities for the single
board.
Furthermore, it was proposed
that the present trustee boards
DR. LEWIS C. DOWDY
the separate universities be
abolished and the forty-eight
.members of the present one
hundred member Board of
Trustees for the greater
universities of North Carolina be

University Re-evaluating
Non-Compulsory Classes
By Lorna Jean Hines
Many students and faculty
members have expressed that the
university's non-compulsory class
attendance policy is not working
as well as it was originally hoped.
It has been learned by The A&T
Register that this attendance
policy might be evaluated for its
effectiveness.
Matthew Simpson, SGA
president, stated that the
Student .Government did not
wish to make any comments or
release any information they
have until the faculty senate has
met to discuss this issue.
In attempting to learn more
about this possible evaluation,
Dr. Walter Sullivan, president of
the University Council, was
contacted for any possible
discussion the council might have
conducted as well as any future
discussion that might be

the intention of helping other
Blacks later on" Bond feels no
matter how good their
intentions, Blacks should not
fool themselves by thinking they
can really help the masses of
Black people working for a big
corporations.
Representative Bond's advice
to students at A&T, "Study long
but don't study wrong, and try
to remember there are hundreds
of thousands oL Black people
who can't come to A&T."
Along with the "internal"
problems of Black schools, Bond
feels the Nixon administration is
indeed trying to destroy the
concept of Black schools.
Through the Nixon
administration desegregation
policy, integration has been
"a vicious 'thing". The
policy has turned two

Place For Panthers
"There is a place in American
society for the Black Panther
Party,", reflected Bond.
. 'However, I feel they have an
incorrect analysis of the
American racial situation", he
went on to explain.
"They say all the Black man's
problems stem from racism and
capitalism; racism yes, but not
capitalism. Even without
capitalism racial trouble would
still be here".

said, "Black people still get the

Class Attendance
Being Studied By

The Educational Policy
committee of the Faculty Senate
is in the process of reviewing
non-compulsory class
attendance. This committee is a
standing committee of the
Faculty Senate and is chaired by
Dr. Florentine Sowell.
The Educational PoUcy
committee was asked by the
Faculty Senate to review,
non-compulsory class attendence
as suggested in a letter from the
self-study committee.
No definite plans are available
at this time since the committee
